I purchased this generator a few months ago for use on our off-the-grid property.
First the negatives which are mentioned elsewhere in other reviews:
1) the pull cord is recessed behind the support mounts so that it can not be pulled directly out from its housing but rather at a slight angle. Over time this may result in extra wear on the cord and cause it to break sooner than it would otherwise.
2) the oil fill is located at a difficult to reach location and angle, making it difficult to fill without a funnel, UNLESS, you have a friend tip the unit back about 30 degrees, and then filling is a breeze - just be careful not to OVERFILL.
Now the positives:
1) The unit arrived promptly and in good condition.
2) Assembly was easy.
3) The generator starts easily every time: turn on the switch, turn the fuel valve to the on position, set the choke, pull the cord once or twice and it starts. The only time it wouldn't start was when I forgot and let the oil run low and the low-oil sensor refused to let me ruin the engine.
4) The generator works in cold (20 deg V AC needs, it senses and immediately adjusts to handle load demands.
5) As generators go, it's relatively quiet.
Overall, this is good value for the cost.
